Translation support

[rene-coty]

I would like to contribute to the localization of your app, but there isn't any POTFILES or .pot file in your app to indicate which strings need to be translated, where to begin with, or any hint in the README file. As an example, the French translation (fr.po) seems to be very outdated but there is no .pot file to fetch the new strings that have been added/modified since this file was created…

My bad, I didn't document the process, the only clue to the steps to follow is a comment in this file: https://github.com/JoseExposito/touche/blob/master/po/LINGUAS

Basically, you'd need to install Node.js and run:

$ npm run translate

> [email protected] translate
> node bundle/scripts/translate.js

This tool will help you to generate or update [locale].po files.
Locale is a 2 or 3 digit code as defined in the "ISO 639-1 Code" column here:
https://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php

You can also select the locale by running this script like:
$ npm run translate -- [locale]

Enter the name of the locale to create of update: fr

Generating translations for locale "fr"
Updating po/fr.po
File po/fr.po updated successfully
File po/LINGUAS updated
Translations generated successfully 🎉

This will add the missing strings to fr.po. Only 3 strings are missing translations: "Applications", "Back" (as in mouse back button) and "Forward" (as in mouse forward button).

After translation, you can open a pull request and I'll accept the changes. However, if you prefer to avoid the extra steps, here is the fr.po.txt with the missing strings. If you prefer to upload to this issue report I'll add it for you.

Thanks for your interest!
